Customer Reviews

Great Overview!

This book provides a great overview of clouds and information about the sky. It has wonderful pictures. My children ages 5-7 really learned a lot of useful stuff about the sky. It is great because we spend so much time looking at the sky. Now, they have names and now why the sky is blue. Very informative and reader friendly.
